Change can BE a good thing. I think. Especially if we are trying to change for the better. It can be refreshing when we accomplish a task, rearrange a room, hang a new picture, paint a wall. It can give us a new lease on life, renewed energy, a desire to do better. I feel this way about my blog look. One of my goals in starting a blog was to learn the computer skills needed to download/upload graphics, backgrounds, cute stuff. But I have to accept that some of those other things just can’t happen right now. Mostly because I have to use hubby’s work laptop to type, check email and pay bills, and just can’t save things onto it that would allow me to have all the ‘cutesy’ things I want to have. For whatever reason he chooses not to ‘fix’ the family computer so it is mostly just good for the educational games that the children play.

  The same with my homestead (if I dare call it a homestead), I feel like I’m living in a storage unit right now (a very large storage unit *lol* and have been for the past three years). There are boxes and shelves and stuff around all over. It is not a pretty or peaceful sight. But it is not all junk. It just sits waiting to find its place once the remodeling is done. We are finally getting a step or two closer and do I dare hope that it might be done by this years birthday – probably not, but maybe by Christmas *wishfully praying*

  The patio has been a big issue but we appear to finally be over that hurdle. So with the framer for the patio cover called and then one more inspection, putting on the roof and finishing the interior of the new (our) bedroom. Things in my mind will start falling (rather start being shifted into place) and we can function in an environment that will bring us more peace…at least that’s my goal/dream/desire.

  And since I want that ‘peace’ or ‘renewed’ feeling in my blog, I have decided to tweak what I can, hoping it will revitalize me, and give me a desire to move forward. Okay perhaps this isn’t as much of a ‘homestead’ blog, but more of a life journal. With all of it’s crazy up’s and down’s with a ‘mentally neurotic and paranoid’ Bee buzzing about all over (and usually accomplishing very little I feel).

  But today I start anew, perhaps a new name more befitting our family. A new template? Autumn is my most favorite time of year with all the changing colors of the maple trees and great oaks (but only in my childhood memories), around here the cactus don’t bother to do anything spectacular like change colors or drop their foliage (trust me those spiney needles can hurt, ouch!).

  I too though must change with the seasons of life. And accept and grow with the challenges of growing older and hopefully wiser. My heart is much more at peace today than yesterday. The children are starting to arise and morning kisses and hugs are being sent my way. So off to start with prayer and do things (okay chores) that can often be pushed aside and now can wait no longer. The older ones must get soon leave for their college classes. So into a new dawn and a new day, full of hope, desires for changes for good, and knowing (and praying) that the Lord will be with me every step of the way.

 It Will Be A Good Day for this BEE Family

 Buzzing Off……………………..Sincerely, Mistress Bee
